Yes. It is. Just a giant flexing its muscles. Look but don't touch.

Why would you spend any of your finite attention here? It's a signal to researchers and would-be upstarts that Meta already lurks here.




> Why would you spend any of your finite attention here?

Because it is research. And it's an open research, unlike OpenAI or (for the most part) modern Google DeepMind or xAI.

It's completely fair game for non-researchers to ignore that, but even non-researchers benefit from a higher pace of developing understanding how to do this kind of magic.

Thank you people at Meta Research for this release!


Research is fantastic. Why release the models publicly if they can't be openly used?
